Maximizing your viewing options while maintaining some convenience may require two antennas.

I would suggest you start with one antenna, an Antennacraft HBU-22 or an Antennas Direct CS-2 complete (which has the added VHF dipole included).

Either antenna aimed south and a bit east should also receive the two strong signals from the north.

Then, if you want to go after the weaker signals to the NE and to the west, you can consider a large deep fringe antenna such as a Winegard HD7698P on a rotator. The two down-leads would be separate.
